The message read, “We were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Kiernan Forbes – otherwise known as ‘AKA’ – a rapper and United supporter from South Africa, at the age of just 35. He was a huge Red and greatly adored by so many. Our thoughts are with his family and many loved ones.”
AKA was a loyal fan of Manchester United and often showed support for Benni McCarthy, a fellow South African, on social media. Just before AKA’s death, he shared a post from Manchester United’s Instagram account hyping up McCarthy.
McCarthy later posted two pictures on his Instagram page to show his appreciation for Manchester United honoring the rapper. The pictures showed the cover of the Manchester United Match Programme with the caption, “FA Cup Match Programme with a nice mention for my brother AKA.”
